Frequently asked
An organic product is
An organic product is the result of agricultural production that focuses on preserving natural ecosystems, increasing soil fertility and reducing negative environmental impact.
Organic products contain only organic ingredients of agricultural origin, only natural flavours and flavourings and natural dyes, and the conditions of keeping animals in organic production are close to natural.
Organic production is a system of farm management and food production that combines best environmental and climate action practices, a high level of biodiversity, the preservation of natural resources and the application of high animal welfare standards and high production standards in line with the demand of a growing number of consumers for products produced using natural substances and processes.
Organic production is a certified activity related to production of agricultural products which is carried out in compliance with the organic regulation.
Organic production excludes the use of synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, growth regulators and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Advantages of organic products
- Health and safety: organic products contain fewer pesticide residues and other harmful chemicals, making them safer to consume.
- Improved quality and taste: organic products often taste better and retain more nutrients due to natural growing methods.
- Environmental responsibility: organic production reduces environmental pollution and contributes to the preservation of soil, water and biodiversity.
- Biodiversity preservation: crop rotation and other practices help to maintain healthy ecosystems and reduce negative impacts on wild plants and animals.
- No GMOs: organic products do not contain genetically modified organisms, which guarantees the naturalness of the product.
- Ethical treatment of animals: organic production involves humane husbandry practices without the use of growth hormones and antibiotics, and free range regardless of the season.
- Support for local producers: by buying organic products you support local farmers and the economy and contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture.
By choosing organic products you support sustainable development, take care of your health and the health of the planet!
Differences of organic products
One of the main principles of organic production is the traceability of the entire production process: from the field to the finished product. An organic product must not only be produced in compliance with the relevant standards, but also contain at least 95% organic ingredients of agricultural origin (by weight, excluding water and table salt). And the entire process of organic production is closely monitored by a control body and is confirmed with a certificate.
Organic certification is voluntary. In other words, when producing organic food, the producer must comply with all basic standards and legislation on food production, plus assumes voluntary obligations to comply with the organic production standards and rules.
Organic products contain only organic ingredients of agricultural origin, only natural flavours and flavourings and natural colouring agents, and the conditions of keeping animals in organic production are close to natural.
Unlike conventional production, organic production prohibits the use of GMOs, artificial colours and flavour enhancers, synthetic mineral fertilisers and synthetic pesticides, as well as growth regulators.
